It also helps when the bad guys had 202 hit points between them.Fight over the PCs investigate the Kruthik lair, and the dead Goblin in the hole- discover plenty of shinies and count them... one, two Potions of Healing. Treasure distributed, and with nowhere else to go, the PCs head back to the former Rat lair, and the 'danger- keep out' door. Dirty slams it open and the PCs stride in... confidence, apparently, is a factor.Stats: PCs down to 58.54% connection rate, the bad guys with 48.15%; the PCs however were only dealing an average of 30 points of damage per turn which is just not enough, again the bad guys started the encounter with 202 hit points- low connection rate and no use of Daily Powers therefore means it's going to take a while to wear the bad guys down. Once again we're back to attrition, only 92 XP/turn earned by the PCs, the least in any encounter so far.Combined Stats: That's messed with my previous theory, still not enough data perhaps, Level +0 encounters and Level +1 encounters are now not so different- average 5.5 turns for Level +0, 5.6 turns for Level +1; time to play out 40.75 & 43.4 minutes respectively. In other news the PCs remain locked on station as regards connection rates-Dirty 53.75%Kaspard 56.45%Phrenic 60.53%Grey 63.11%Winstanley 80.88%Damage taken is still pretty much as was as regards the ratios-Kaspard 81Grey 93Winstanley 103Phrenic 195Dirty 347As previously Dirty and Phrenic are in the thick of it, remember Phrenic has only been in 7 encounters, the others have been in 11, he's doing his best to catch up with Dirty however. Winstanley has to get into the fight every now and then, and of the two that stand back then Grey draws slightly more fire than Kaspard, and is easier to hit it has to be said.The average encounter now is Level 3.45, takes 6.73 turns to play out and lasts 51.91 minutes.</blockquote>
